African Sanctus is a 1972 choral Mass and is the best-known work of British composer and ethnomusicologist David Fanshawe.
In African Sanctus the Latin Mass is juxtaposed with live recordings of
traditional African music, which the composer had recorded himself between 1969 to 1975. The work consists of 13 movements and follows the journey of the composer through Africa. The recordings are from Egypt, the Sudan, Uganda and Kenya.
Originally entitled African Revelations, African Sanctus was first performed in
London by the Saltarello Choir in July 1972, and was later played on BBC Radio on United Nations Day. On Easter Sunday, 1975, a documentary about the making of the work was broadcast on BBC 1's Omnibus programme. Made by film-maker Herbert Chappell, this charted Fanshawe's progress recording the work in North and East Africa, and coincided with the release of the album. The documentary was nominated for the 'Prix Italia'.
Following the publication of the full score in 1977, premiere performances
were given in Toronto, Worcester Cathedral in 1978, and the Royal Albert Hall in 1979, which was conducted by Sir David Willcocks
In 1994 David Fanshawe composed an additional movement for a new
recording of the work, the Dona Nobis Pacem - A Hymn for World Peace, which completed the Agnus Dei. Based on this new recording, the BBC commissioned the maker of the 1975 documentary, Herbert Chappell, to make a new programme, African Sanctus Revisited,
